You & Me

You have to ask yourself: what trust you have made
With all you have?
What I admire most is you, for free
What I admire more is you and me
You have to project yourself
Through a video or a photograph
Whatever
What I admire most is you for free
What I admire more is you and me
How I imagine you is you, fallen
What I admire more is you and me
Off your head
We’re barely there
Tunnel vision casts a glow so don’t sit around
Your eyes,
What you’re meant to see is you
And I like that what I admire most is you for free
Your eyes

What’s the point of being famous?
So maybe I’ll regret this
Could I be beat down to the street
Blind and left behind?
Pretty boy is entertaining
Well, I find ‘em grating
Could I be beat down in the street
Blind, and left behind to know that
I can’t be too late
I am made of steel or wool defense
Well the rain will come someday
Like a blessing for all my dirty work
To was all the pain away
It could only be you
To convince me that this is truly where I deserve to be
And it could only be you
To tell me if it is all worth all my time and effort
Time flows like a stream
Dedication is strong
You lose when I say I can’t be too late
Maybe I concede to madness, thirsty and thread-less
Could I be clothed from head to toe on these kind of wages?
What’s the point of being famous?
Oh, I know, could it be friends in higher ranks
Keep you up at night
I can’t be too late
I could go away and fade out
Well the pain will be worth it
At least I sure hope so anyway
To make all the sense I need
Dedication is strong
And the current’ll change
You lose when I say “I can’t be too late”

Why do I define a line so high? I hope and show off all my pride
Taking out all of my sin to change within
It’s all I can do, deny a remiss witness
I remember days when I cried out loud, now
your voice in the crowd, standing out and heaven-sent
Reflection like a mirror
It’s all I can do, deny a remiss witness
You have saved more times than I can count on my hand
Fingerless, oh the skies miss my heart
And I’ve sent one last word for you:
Live without regrets
It’s all I can do
You have saved me more times than I can count
And you revived me
Now I will live again

Blood for Blood

A step above, the best, on top
I’m here watching a whisper act just like a thought
To the heads in this room, locked in a tomb
Regress to less human being by
Such a cruel decision
Dotted lines tell me just where to sign
What I wouldn’t give to be another man
But I’ll get out here with who I am
Rust knife, a slow incision, oh my friend
Do you hear the horror upon my face?
I beg ‘cause it hurts to feel you so I lose all feeling…please
But it’s just a cruel decision, dotted lines tell me just where to sign
What I wouldn’t give to be another man
But I’ll get out here with who I am
I failed to love you the way I would
If only you knew who I used to be

Part of You

Part of you, a part of you is gone, is lost
A part of you, a part of you is gone along
Today’s the day I’ll somehow change my ways, I’ll somehow
Unchaining my shackles and dropping them right where I stand
Yeah, today’s the day, oh today
A part of you, a part of you is gone
And has been robbed
Today’s the day I’ll summon the will to change
I’m getting it out from my mind and out of time
Yeah, today’s the day, oh today
When you have to ask what you lack – is it time?
Getting out the door on your own lately
…..
Nothing has, nothing has seemed to work
Wiping the age out your eyes

Unrest
03:52
|
|
||
|
Shaving off all your skin to feel vulnerable
I hear them speak out, a wave of disarray
Organized experience, it’s all on you to get out
Oh the sun, how it burns just like I do when I yearn
Official expectation deride in due time
I sing louder, never causing harm
Exfoliate a change of pace as we make haste to get ours
Oh the sun, how it burns just like I do
So what is right by you?
I’ll choose
Pulled shut, eyelids
Erasing my will and forcing down
Always, islands erasing my will and facing down
Oh the sun how it burns, just like I do
So what is right by you?
I’ll choose…

Tripping and Falling
03:21

Your addiction to pressure subsides at the drop of a pin,
Just like a broken record
With intimate frequencies, lulling you sleep without counting sheep
Who you think you stick it to? Descending down into your mood
A match made in heaven
You’re escaping life all the time
But never know the truth, what’s inside of you
All my life, I had to choose: one to live and one to lose
All my life, I had no choice
But to be in the womb, poisoning myself
“Yeah… I’ll do it tomorrow not today”
Rhetorical folly holds you back as you hold it in
You’d rather make excuses than make up for your mistake in life
All the time, daring you to keep rolling up your sleeve
Run away slowly, your lives in your arms, just think of your child
the one who carries on the mother of all your fake problems

Ensnared
03:15
|
|

We were born, conjoined at the hip
Separated boundary lines
To makes sense of where we stand
Just to believe we made it
Oh, we’ll see this through, and we’ll feel again
A promise we made to ourselves
Operator standing behind
Winding up the drilling tool
Forcibly gained access to our home, inside
We had to breathe our own fire
We had to bring our own guns

I saved a day in the middle of the week so I could feel
Little better ‘bout the weight that I’ve been dealt
Little long then I guess I will get paid
Then I’ll say, I have changed my mind – what should I do?
I can’t help you now
Go ahead and take the credit, you can pick up where I left
I can’t help you now
I stayed the same, little older but my eyes’ve grown so grey
Window opens and the breeze will turn the page
Then I’ll return to say, I feel the same
That I won’t follow you, and I won’t allow you to have me this way
Go ahead and take the credit, you can pick up where I left
I can’t help you now
(Implanted images distracting from a rich sense of worth
hold your cash like a curse)
The permanence of ink conveys the subtle difference in my eyes
I saved a day just to heal
what should I do? I can’t help you now

Whole Again
04:39

I’ve been alone for a long time and I’ve been right here, not letting go
I’ve lived for ages, way past your time
When you died, I carried you home
When you died, carried your memories on
Because I have too many in my brain, enough to get by
Adjust whole again
When I yawn, I might as well lose the din I had,
Enough to get by, adjust to feel
I’ve been alive for a long time and I’ve been right here, not letting go
I’ve lived for ages, just wasting time
I felt you leave me to see my fate
An aching, longing need to bring you back from deep in my mind
Enough to by, adjust to feel
Whole again
I won’t forget you – how could I?
Every day is just another step without a word or smile from your lips
I wish to kiss just one last time but I can’t
‘cause they’re blue
I try to get by, enough to feel whole again
I feel myself forgetting
I feel myself forgetting your name
My only fear is coming true
I’ll be alone for a long time
